-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CFP: ARCOE-12 The 4th International Workshop on Acquisition, Representation and Reasoning with Contextualized Knowledge Datum: Fri, 24 Feb 2012 15:49:19 +0100 Von: AROCE Announcement <announcement-lists(a)arcoe.org> Antwort an: AROCE Announcement <announcement-lists(a)arcoe.org> An: announcement(a)arcoe.org === CALL FOR PAPERS === Acquisition, Representation and Reasoning with Contextualized Knowledge, 4th International Workshop (ARCOE-12) http://www.arcoe.org/2012 held in collocation with 20th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI-12) Montpellier, France -- Important Dates -- Submission deadline: 28 May 2012 Notification: 28 June 2012 Camera ready: 15 July 2012 Early registration: [TBA] Late registration: [TBA] Workshop dates: 27-28 August 2012 -- Description of the workshop -- Dealing with context is one of the most interesting and most important problems faced in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Traditional AI applications often require to model, store, retrieve and reason about knowledge that holds within certain circumstances - the context. Without considering this contextual information, reasoning can easily run to problems such as: inconsistency, when considering knowledge in the wrong context; inefficiency, by considering knowledge irrelevant for a certain context; incompleteness, since an inference may depend on knowledge assumed in the context and not explicitly stated. Contextual information is also relevant in many tasks in knowledge representation and reasoning such as common-sense reasoning, dealing with inconsistency, ambiguity, and uncertainty, evolution, etc. In recent years, research in contextual knowledge representation and reasoning became more relevant in the areas of Semantic Web, Linked Open Data, and Ambient Intelligence, where knowledge is not considered a monolithic and static asset, but it is distributed in a network of interconnected heterogeneous and evolving knowledge resources. The ARCOE workshop aims to provide a dedicated forum for researchers interested in these topics to discuss recent developments, important open issues, and future directions. -- Topics -- ARCOE-12 welcomes submissions on the topics below as well as on their intersection and other topics related to acquisition, representation, reasoning with context and its applications. Philosophical and theoretical foundations of context: 1. What is context and how should it be represented. 2. Relevant types of contextual information and their properties. 3. Combining contextual information with object information for reasoning. 4. Context and common-sense reasoning. 5. Exploiting context in inconsistency and uncertainty handling, defeasible reasoning and argumentation. 6. Contextual logic programming. 7. Updating contextual knowledge and context-aware belief revision. 8. Frameworks for formalizing context and context-aware knowledge representation. Context modeling and contextual knowledge engineering: 1. Modeling of user's/agent's context. 2. Context driven organization of knowledge and modeling. 3. Ontologies for context modeling. 4. Context-aware modeling tools and methodology. 5. Comparisons to context-unaware modeling techniques. Effective reasoning with context: 1. Effective context-aware reasoning algorithms. 2. Distributed reasoning with context. 3. Context-driven heuristics in classical reasoning systems. 4. Reasoning under uncertainty and inconsitency. 5. Defeasible reasoning. 4. Hybrid formalisms for reasoning with context, including sub-symbolic contexts Applications of context in areas such as: 1. Agent communication and coordination. 2. Semantic Web and Linked Open Data. 3. Knowledge modularization. 4. Ontology matching. 5. Ontology fault diagnosis and repair. 6. Ontology evolution and versioning. 7. Information integration. 8.

Fwd: [wkwi] AMCIS 2012 Minitrack: Advancing Enterprise Resource Planning ThroughTechnology - Final CfP
by Gustaf Neumann 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [wkwi] AMCIS 2012 Minitrack: Advancing Enterprise Resource Planning ThroughTechnology - Final CfP Datum: Fri, 24 Feb 2012 16:21:51 +0100 (CET) Von: jorge.marx.gomez(a)uni-oldenburg.de Antwort an: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de CALL FOR PAPERS 18th Americas Conference on Information Systems Seattle, Washington, August 9-12, 2012 Minitrack: Advancing Enterprise Resource Planning Through Technology Description: Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems have evolved from large monolithic systems to more and more fragmented systems distributing just about any aspect of a system: functions, processes, data, hardware and infrastructure. This change has gone hand in hand with the incorporation of more and more business functionality into ERP. Starting from material requirements planning (MRP) and manufacturing resource planning (MRP II), the financial and human resources functions as well as executive information systems and eventually long-term strategic planning support for senior management have been included. These developments have made an ERP system "the" core information system of an organization – and the technological backbone that other information systems need to collaborate with. ERP related functionality such as supply chain management (SCM), customer relationship management (CRM) and supplier relationship management (SRM) is either integrated, embedded or closely coupled with an ERP system. Software, hardware and networking technology has enabled the increased importance of ERP systems, but it also posed technological and managerial challenges. In contrast to the early ERP monoliths, we nowadays have distributed architectures – both conventional in-house architectures such as client-server and service oriented architectures (SOA) as well as externally hosted architectures used by application-service-providing (ASP) and software-on-demand solutions. With the appearance of mobile commerce, software-as-a-service (SaaS) approaches and cloud computing, additional challenges have emerged. Technologies such as radio frequency identification (RFID) have opened up new opportunities for an organization to act and react in real-time. RFID, smart items and the "Internet of things" impose new requirements on ERP systems, such as being capable of context-aware information processing. For the new technologies to be successfully implemented, security issues need to be resolved and a satisfactory level of trust in the technologies has to be created. Organizations seem to be hesitant about having their mission-critical business processes run somewhere out in a "cloud" and maintaining their core business data in a nirvana. Nevertheless, cloud computing is rapidly gaining pace. In the past, the vendors of software-on-demand solutions have not been able to generate significant revenue from this type of solution. This is about to change, as cloud computing is penetrating every branch of business information processing. The rationale of this minitrack is exploration of new technologies that can further enhance enterprise resource planning. We invite papers that pursue a constructionist approach to information systems development, following an engineering-like or design-science research style. Papers presenting the development of prototypes as a proof of concept are welcome. Technology-oriented papers should give consideration to the business value of the proposed approaches or solutions. Suggested Topics: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Architectures for ERP and related business information systems - ERP systems based on service oriented architectures (SOA) - Software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions for ERP and related areas - Orchestrating an ERP system from web services/enterprise services - ERP on demand for small and medium-size enterprises - Federated ERP systems, standardization and collaboration issues - ERP and cloud computing - Impact of virtualization and infrastructure-as-a-service on ERP - Integrating RFID solutions with ERP - Impact of the "Internet of things" on future ERP systems - Integrating legacy ERP systems with new components using state-of-the-art technologies - Mobile ERP and related areas such as mobile SCM, mobile CRM and mobile SRM - Security issues and trust in new technologies for enterprise resource planning Submission Procedure Submit your manuscript using the manuscript central system at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012 Important Dates • January 3, 2012: Manuscript Central will start accepting paper submissions • March 1, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): Deadline for paper submissions • April 2, 20012: Authors will be notified of acceptances on or about this date • April 20, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): For accepted papers, camera ready copy due Minitrack Chairs: Karl Kurbel, Jorge Marx Gómez Prof. Dr. Karl Kurbel Business Informatics European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) Germany kurbel.BI(a)uni-ffo.de; www.wiwi.uni-ffo.de/bi ph +49 335 5534 2320, fax +49 335 5534 2321 Prof. Dr.-Ing.

Fwd: [AISWorld] IWSECO 2012: Call for Papers
by Gustaf Neumann 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] IWSECO 2012: Call for Papers Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2012 13:46:35 -0500 From: Slinger Roijackers (Jansen) <slinger(a)slingerjansen.nl> To: AISWorld <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> IWSECO 2012: The Fourth International Workshop on Software Ecosystems 18th of June 2012 - Boston, Massachusetts Co-located with the Fourth International Conference on Software Business http://www.softwareecosystems.org/workshop/ CALL FOR PAPERS After three successful workshops (2009, 2010, 2011) IWSECO continues its world tour to Boston, MA, in 2012. Due to its more business oriented nature, this year we seek submissions specifically geared towards governance and coordination mechanisms for software ecosystems. Software vendors no longer function as independent units, where all customers are end-users, where there are no suppliers, and where all software is built in-house. Instead, software vendors have become networked, i.e., software vendors are depending on (communities of) service and software component suppliers, value-added-resellers, and pro-active customers who build and share customizations. Software vendors now have to consider their strategic role in the software ecosystem to survive. With their role in the software ecosystems in mind, software vendors can become more successful by opening up their business, devising new business models, forging long-lasting relationships with partnership networks, and overcoming technical and social challenges that are part of these innovations. The focus of the first workshop was the definition of the research field. The second workshop?s focus was the ?ideal? architecture of a software platform. The third workshop on software ecosystems focused on the modeling of software ecosystems. This fourth workshop we intend to talk about managing ecosystems, i.e., how to manage a network of partners, developers, service deliverers, and other third parties that play a role in the software ecosystem. Typically, software vendors have several instruments available to them for managing their ecosystem, such as the creation of partnership models or the introduction of component and service certification. The effects of these decisions on the software ecosystem have not yet been made measurable, which can be considered one of the main challenges of the field of software ecosystems. We welcome submissions that specifically address this topic. A software ecosystem is a set of actors functioning as a unit and interacting with a shared market for software and services, together with the relationships among them. These relationships are frequently underpinned by a common technological platform or market and operate through the exchange of information, resources and artifacts. Several challenges lie in the research area of software ecosystems. To begin with, insightful and scalable modeling techniques for software ecosystems currently do not exist. Furthermore, methods are required that enable software vendors to transform their legacy architectures to accommodate reusability of internal common artifacts and external components and services. Finally, methods are required that support software vendors in choosing survival strategies in software ecosystems. The Workshop on Software Ecosystems aims to further increase the body of knowledge in this specific area of software reuse and software engineering by providing a forum to exchange ideas and discuss state-of-the-art results. It will build and shape the community of leading practitioners and research experts. Given the relevance of software ecosystems, and the rather unexplored scientific and industry contribution in this field, the workshop will deliver a state-of-the-practice overview of the available knowledge on software ecosystems, as well as an overview of challenges for further research. * Relevant Topics * Submitted papers shall address topics of interest to software ecosystems and software business. Topics of interest include, but are certainly not limited to: -Organizational openness -Two and N-sided markets -Application Stores -Strategic benefits analyses of ecosystem management -Partner management -Software development governance -Software ecosystem modeling -Software ecosystem practices and experience -Software business models -Product software and software licensing -Economic impact of software ecosystems -Software ecosystem creation -Keystone and niche player survival strategies -Formal modeling of business models -Architectural implications of reusability -API development -Publishing APIs -Software product management -Software product lines -Software development community management -Software ecosystem orchestration -Market-specific domain engineering -Open source software ecosystems -Virtualized software enterprises -API compatibility over subsequent releases * Workshop proceedings * We have no specific information about the publisher, but we are looking for IEEE or ACM support. We are in search of a scientific journal for publishing of extended and revised versions of the best papers. In previous years papers have been published using CEUR-WS or ACM. * Paper preparation, submission and evaluation * We welcome both research and industry papers to IWSECO. They must be original and not submitted to or accepted by any other conference or journal. To encourage industrial participation we also welcome short industry papers and case studies. Papers should be submitted in electronic form (PDF) using EasyChair at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwseco2012 . Papers must be formatted using the LNBIP style and can fill a maximum of 12 pages. * Objective * IWSECO 2012 pursues the following objectives: - Build upon the body of knowledge in software ecosystems, and identify challenges and future avenues for research relevant for both academia and industry. - Establish software ecosystems as a research field within the greater field of software engineering, software management, and software reuse. - Provide to software product managers and researchers a dedicated forum for exchanging ideas and best practices and thus foster industry-academia collaboration. - The field of software ecosystems is rather unexplored both from scientific and industrial perspectives. This mandates IWSECO to participate in bringing researchers and industrial representatives together, for the purpose of exchanging ideas, but also to iteratively set the research agenda based on industry needs. The IWSECO 2012 workshop aims at continuing to increase the body of knowledge for software ecosystems by providing a forum to exchange ideas and publish research results. It will build and shape the community of leading practitioners and research experts. * Organizing Committee * Slinger Jansen ?

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] JITTA Vol. 12 Iss. 3 published Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2012 19:51:00 -0800 From: Marcus Rothenberger <rothenb2(a)unlv.nevada.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org JITTA is announcing the publication of the most recent issue. Articles can be accessed on http://aisel.aisnet.org/jitta/ or http://www.jitta.org <http://www.jitta.org/>. Editorial News The terms of two of the longest serving senior editors have ended in 2011. Murray Turoff from the New Jersey Institute of Technology and J.P. Shim from Mississippi State University have served JITTA for many years. We would like to thank them for their dedicated service and valuable contributions to the journal. Roman Beck from the University of Frankfurt, Jan Recker from Queensland University of Technology, and Nancy Russo from Northern Illinois University have agreed to serve as Senior Editors starting in 2012. We are happy that they will be joining the editorial team and we are looking forward to working with them. The Current Issue In the current issue we publish two design science research articles that develop artifacts relating to organizational processes. The first article (Adriansyah et al. 2011) describes the development and implementation of a business process analysis tool that utilizes a method to compute performance characteristics for complex process models. The research develops an analysis method that replays log data previously collected to analyze actual performance against process definitions. Analyzing process performance using the tool enables organizations to identify and address inefficiencies. The second article (Bragge et al. 2011) focuses on the increasing need for collaboration across organizational boundaries. The paper develops a method for setting up a value system in a new technology field. To develop this method, the research draws from information systems science, industrial marketing management, and strategic management. As a proof of concept, the approach has been applied in a technology firm. The study not only presents an approach for the creation of collaborative networks, but also provides an initial insight on why a major technology firm utilizes such networks to obtain a collaborative advantage.

BPMDS is officially linked on an ongoing basis to the CAiSE conference series (http://www.caise2012.univ.gda.pl/). - International Federation for Information Processing Working Group 8.1 (IFIP WG 8.1) (https://research.idi.ntnu.no/ifip-wg81/). Sponsor since 2009. ABOUT THE BPMDS CONFERENCE: -------------------------- The topics addressed by the BPMDS series are focused on IT support for business processes. This is one of the keystones of Information Systems theory. We strongly believe that any major conference in the area of Information Systems needs to address such topics independently of the current fashion. The continued interest in these topics on behalf of the IS community is reflected by the success of the last BPMDS workshops and the recent emergence of new conferences devoted to the theme. The BPMDS series has produced twelve workshops from 1998 to 2011. From 2011, BPMDS became a two-day working conference attached to CAiSE (Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering). While changing the status of BPMDS, we preserved the basic principles of the BPMDS series: 1. BPMDS serves as a meeting place for researchers and practitioners in the areas of business development, and business applications (software) development 2. The aim of the event is mainly discussions, rather than presentations. 3. Each event has a theme that is, from now, mandatory for visionary papers. 4. Each event's results are, usually, published in a special issue of an international journal. The goals, format, and history of BPMDS can be found on the web site: http://www.ibissoft.se/bpmds.html BACKGROUND AND AIMS: ------------------- As a working conference, we would like to attract more papers describing mature research, still giving place to industrial reports and visionary papers. In addition, we will have a theme whose relevance will be the main criterion for the selection of visionary papers only. We no longer require for full research papers and experience reports to be directly connected to this theme (they still need to be explicitly relevant to BPMDS though). We only suggest to the authors of research papers and experience reports, wherever possible, to make connection to the theme. The theme chosen for BPMDS'12 visionary papers is: "Business processes and Business Process Management in the Cloud" We invite the visionaries (from research and industry) to exploit this theme in relation to BPMDS. We also welcome research papers that include ideas on how theoretical results discussed can be used in practice, as well as experience reports on using theories in practice. TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION: ---------------------- Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations for analyzing, modeling, simulating or executing business processes - Business process modeling languages, notations and methods - Multi-perspectives on business process modeling: integration and coherence - A broad view on strategy, business processes, people and IT: alignment, fit and coherence - Dynamic configuration; modeling by reuse - Granularity, development of reusable and context-aware components; modeling for reuse - Domain specific reference models - Business-IT alignment through business processes - Resource management in business process modeling and support - User-oriented aspects of the business process modeling and support - Cross-organizational business processes - Business process change management and governance issues - Verification and validation of business process models - Variability and adaptability of business process models - Efficiency, adequacy, flexibility, agility, compliance, reliability, security in business process modeling and execution - Metrics, maturity and continuous improvement - Business process support architectures and platforms - BPMDS based on a service-oriented architecture - BPMDS combined with social software and social networks - Mobile technologies and context aware business process modeling SUBMISSIONS: ----------- Papers submission deadline: February 26th, 2012 Prospective conference participants are invited to submit a paper that concerns business process modeling and development, and business process support (development of software dedicated to business processes) and that may be related to one or more of the topics for discussion listed above. We solicit the papers (both research papers and experience reports) that contain results worth of discussion. For full research papers, it means that reported research should be in an advance stage and a paper includes results and at least partial evaluation. Thus three kinds of submissions are possible: (1) Full research papers. (2) Experience reports, which should follow guidelines in http://processplatsen.ibissoft.se/node/72. (3) Idea papers related to the focus theme, devoted to completely new research positions or approaches, in order to face to a generic situation that arises because of, for instance, new methods and tools or new types of emerging challenges; the compliance to the focus theme is mandatory for idea papers, which should describe precisely the situation and demonstrate the shortcomings of current methods, tools, ways of reasoning, meta-models, etc. Papers of all submission types should be of up to 15 pages. Please follow the LNCS format instructions at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for all of them. Papers should be submitted in Adobe PDF format. The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. The papers should be submitted through the conference management system available at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds2012 E-mail also your abstract as an attachment to mailto:selmin.nurcan@univ-paris1.fr PUBLICATIONS: ------------ The conference proceedings will be published in a Springer LNBIP volume (joint with EMMSAD), "Enterprise, Business-Process and Information Systems Modeling”, as the three previous years (LNBIP 29, LNBIP 50 and LNBIP 81). After the BPMDS’12 conference, extended versions of the accepted papers will be considered for publishing in a special issue of an international journal.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CfP Reminder - AMCIS 2012: Minitrack on Negative Cognitions About IS

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP Reminder - AMCIS 2012: Minitrack on Negative Cognitions About IS Datum: Thu, 23 Feb 2012 11:21:38 -0600 Von: Lockwood, Nick <LockwoodN(a)mst.edu> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS AMCIS 2012 Seattle, Washington August 9-12, 2012 Track: HCI Studies in Information Systems (SIGHCI) Mini-track: Negative Cognitions About Information Systems There is an increasingly persistent dichotomy in the way that emerging Information Systems (IS)-enabled patterns for work and collaboration are affecting IS users. On the one hand, they enable vast improvements in processes and decisions. On the other, they lead to negative cognitions and outcomes such as stress, frustrations and information overload. There has been a recent surge of interest in negative cognitions associated with using IS related, for example, to technostress, intrusiveness and deceptiveness, credibility and deception, addiction to technology use, and distrust. These studies explore various facets of detrimental conditions that users of IS experience-conditions that, given the ubiquity of IS use, are potentially pervasive. The objective of this mini-track is to develop theoretical insight and understanding on HCI topics and issues that address this "troubling" side of IS. Submissions addressing all aspects of this topic are welcome. We welcome conceptual, theoretical or empirical research papers. We particularly welcome papers that apply theories and perspectives from different disciplines (e.g., theories of stress from psychology, information overload and interruption from information science, and work-life balance from industrial management) to examine various aspects of this phenomenon. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 1. Implications for design of systems and interfaces regarding: conceptualizations of troubling or negative interactions between IS and users, such as interruptions, information overload, constant connectivity to work-related information processing, addiction to IS use, and difficulties in learning how to use constantly changing technologies and applications. 2. Implications for design of systems and interfaces regarding: outcomes from the above interactions such as stress, difficulty in concentrating, multitasking, user dissatisfaction, effects on productivity and performance, disruption of work-life balance, over-dependence on IS. 3. Any other HCI topics related to negative affective responses and the cause and effect relationships between cues embedded in system designs and/or methods that can mitigate or exacerbate those negative responses. IMPORTANT DATES: March 1, 2012 - Deadline for paper submissions April 6, 2012 - Notification of acceptance April 25, 2012 - Final copy due INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS: All conference submissions will be double-blind, peer reviewed, and must be submitted using the online submission system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012. For complete instructions for authors and information about the conference, visit the AMCIS 2012 conference website at http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/.

The deadline for paper submission is scheduled for April 17, 2012. Knowledge Management (KM) is a discipline concerned with the analysis and technical support of practices used in an organization to identify, create, represent, distribute and enable the adoption and leveraging of good practices embedded in collaborative settings and, in particular, in organizational processes. Effective knowledge management is an increasingly important source of competitive advantage, and a key to the success of contemporary organizations, bolstering the collective expertise of its employees and partners. Information Sharing (IS) is a term used for a long time in the information technology (IT) lexicon, related to data exchange, communication protocols and technological infrastructures. Although standardization is indeed an essential element for sharing information, IS effectiveness requires going beyond the syntactic nature of IT and delve into the human functions involved in the semantic, pragmatic and social levels of organizational semiotics. The two areas are intertwined as information sharing is the foundation for knowledge management. KMIS is interested in promoting high quality research as it can be confirmed by last year acceptance rates, where from 134 submissions, 8% were accepted as full papers. Additionally, 21% were presented as short papers and 17% as posters. The IC3K program features a number of Keynote Lectures to be delivered by distinguished world-class researchers, namely: - Daniel O'Leary, University of Southern California, United States (list not yet complete) http://www.ic3k.org/KeynoteSpeakers.aspx Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers (full, short and posters) will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support. CKEI A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and extended versions of these papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in a CCIS Series book. The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP and EI (Elsevier Index). All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SciTePress Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). SciTePress is member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/). Best paper awards will be distributed during the conference closing session. Please check the website for further information (http://www.kmis.ic3k.org/BestPaperAward.aspx). Workshops, special sessions, tutorials as well as demonstrations dedicated to other technical/scientific topics are also envisaged: companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies or researchers interested in holding a tutorial are invited to contact the conference secretariat. Workshop Chairs and Special Session Chairs will benefit from logistics support and other types of support, including secretariat and financial support, to facilitate the development of a valid idea. KMIS 2012 is co-located with two related conferences in a joint conference (IC3K - http://www.ic3k.org/) format, namely: - Knowledge Discovery and Information Retrieval (http://www.kdir.ic3k.org/) - Knowledge Engineering and Ontology Development (http://www.keod.ic3k.org/) Registration to one conference allows free access to all conferences.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Security in Business Processes (Preliminary CfP) Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2012 10:56:00 +0100 From: Rafael Accorsi <rafael.accorsi(a)iig.uni-freiburg.de> Organization: University of Freiburg To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org SBP'12: Joint Workshop on Security in Business Processes <http://www.inf.unibz.it/sbp12/> in conjunction with the 10th Int'l Conference on Business Process Management <http://bpm2012.ut.ee/> Despite the growing demand for compliant business processes, security and privacy incidents caused by erroneous process specifications are still omnipresent. In fact, often business process management and security issues stand out as separate silos, and are seldom addressed together towards the development of trustworthy, compliant business processes. By combining the successful experiences of the First International Workshop on Alignment of the Business Process and Security Modelling (ABPSM'11) and Workshop on Workflow Security Audit and Certification (WfSAC'11), the Joint Workshop on Security in Business Processes (SBP'12) brings together researchers and practitioners interested in security management of business process in process-aware information systems. SBP'12 encourages innovative methods for workflow security audit and control along the entire business process life-cycle: from design time verification to online operational support and post-mortem analysis. Furthermore, it welcomes contributions beyond the strictly technical character, for instance those considering economic, legal and standardization issues. *Topics of interest* Alignment Information flow control Authorization Log formats Accountability Meta-models for analysis Audit reduction Operational decision support Business provenance Privacy-aware process discovery Case studies Requirements elicitation Conformance checking Requirements formalization Compliance checking Risk analysis and measurement Continuous audit Runtime verification/monitoring Cost-benefit analysis Security testing Data-aware process mining Trace clustering Formal reasoning Usage control Fraud detection Workflow forensics Economics of audit Workflow simulation Experience reports *Submission instructions* Submitted manuscripts must be written in English and be no longer than 12 pages. They must be formatted using the LNBIP format <http://www.springer.com/?SGWID=1-102-0-0-0>. Submissions will be reviewed by at least three PC members based on their originality, significance, technical soundness and clarity of exposition. The workshop papers will be published by Springer as a post-workshop proceedings volume in the series Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP). The submission website is at <https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=sbp12>. *Important dates* Paper submission: June 1, 2012 Paper notification: July 2, 2012 Camera-ready version: July 30, 2012 Workshop: September 3, 2012 *Organizers* PC Chairs Rafael Accorsi (Freiburg U, DE) Raimundas Matulevicius (Tartu U, EE) Organization Chairs Peter Karpati (Norwegian U of Science and Technology, NO) Marco Montali (Bolzano FU, IT) Steering Chairs Wil van der Aalst (Eindhoven TU, NL) Guttorm Sindre (Norwegian U of Science and Technology, NO) *Program committee* to be announced -- Dr. Rafael Accorsi http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~accorsi _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
